Great ideas, thanks! Defenitely need a human browsable repository and an API to automate and extent searches. Nice examples, also. BTW, liitin namespace can be abbreviated as plain ":" i.e. liitin:object-name equals to :object-name.
I've also thought about Mediawiki engine that might be able to handle atleast some of the mentioned requirements. br, jukka -----Original Message----- From: Rodolfo Carvalho [mailto:rhcarva...@gmail.com] Sent: 04 August 2011 19:54 To: Jukka Tuominen Cc: users@racket-lang.org Subject: Re: [racket] FW: External connection to Finndesign Liitin On Thu, Aug 4, 2011 at 06:26, Jukka Tuominen <jukka.tuomi...@finndesign.fi> wrote: Hi Rodolfo, I'm glad you liked it :) I've been following your announcements. Your ideal is interesting. Unfortunately there's not yet a decent way to find out what's available. I've noticed the same need while 'dog-fooding' on the system, and have planned to approach it in two ways: - Provide an internal/external channel for people to make announcements (= web and/or posting list) - Add a search functionality atleast with free-text search on object name and content, and 'my history' options. Maybe some kind of indexed and searchable repository would be nice. Then this repository could provide an API to search for things. For example one can do an "apt-cache search ..." to search APT repositories from the console, as well as use a GUI like Synaptic to perform a similar task. > (take 2 (liitin:search "calculator")) ... > (length (liitin:category "games")) 42 []'s Rodolfo Carvalho
